Founder and CEO of Paradise Dental Practice What brings me to work every day is the passion of getting to know new people and contributing to their well-being. What I have loved about my job as a dentist over the past sixteen years is the confidence that my patients have given me by allowing me to provide them with personal and professional care. I received a Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS) from McGill University, one of the top dental schools in Canada, in 1998. Then, I moved to California to further pursue my dental career. After obtaining my California Dental License, I joined a dental group in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I had the opportunity to work in the area of cosmetic and general dentistry. I am also a member (with good standing) of the following dental associations:
My philosophy is based upon the desire to provide state-of-the-art, high-quality dentistry in a warm and friendly environment. My skilled practice team shares the same philosophy and completes my mission in serving our patients with care and love. Work does not feel like work because we have fun doing something that we are good at. Serving you and your family as our own is our mission. I strongly believe in conservative and preventive dentistry that will enable each patient to maintain their teeth and oral health for a lifetime. I am excited and proud to be able to continue my work in dentistry here in Orange County, where I live with my playful 15-year-old son and lovely husband. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my loving family and together exploring the beautiful California West Coast. Besides the art of dentistry, my other passion is oil painting on canvas. I have had the privilege of managing my own business for the past twelve years. I take pride in having been able to create a warm and friendly environment for my patients and staff. I have strived to constantly improve upon and update my knowledge in the field of dentistry by attending various post-graduate seminars and study clubs in all aspects of cosmetic and general dentistry.
